The following are some top types of party venues for this lively city around the holidays:

Pubs

It isn't easy to top a pub for a holiday party. It's got all the right ingredients: great food, plenty of drink and loads of atmosphere. You can host your Adelaide holiday party any night of the week, but ensure that you make a reservation well in advance since pubs in Adelaide book up quickly. Most pubs have ample space for many individuals, and there is always a bar somewhere in the building, so you never lack for drinks. Be sure to hold your holiday party at a pub with live music because it truly energises the atmosphere and brings everyone together.

Restaurants

A fantastic idea for a holiday party is to book one of Adelaide's restaurants. Most restaurants allow access to the whole venue or a private dining space. Dine on delectable food prepared by skilled chefs while you enjoy a festive ambience. Inquire about event packages, including entertainment, styling, food and drinks.

Most bars also offer special event packages that may include a selection of drinks, light canapés, or even a dedicated bartender to craft personalised cocktails for your guests.

Hotel Function Rooms

Most Adelaide hotels have a private function room for hire for a Christmas party. When you book a hotel function room, inquire about what is included (such as the room hire or the refreshments) because some hotels will charge you extra if they must bring in additional staff or materials. Plus, on-site accommodation can be highly convenient for guests travelling from afar or those who want to enjoy the party without worrying about driving home afterwards.

Tips for Planning Adelaide Christmas Parties

Planning a Christmas party in Adelaide can be an exciting yet challenging task. To ensure that your festive event is a memorable success, several key considerations must be remembered. Here are some tips to help you plan and execute the perfect Christmas party in Adelaide:

Plan Ahead

Planning ahead is crucial when organising an Adelaide Christmas party, especially during the festive season when venues can fill up fast. Begin planning as early as possible to secure your desired location and date. Early bookings often come with better offers and more venues available.

We recommend booking at least three to six months in advance to ensure you have various options and can choose the venue that best fits your needs. Early planning also allows you more flexibility in organising catering, entertainment, and decorations.

Set a Budget

Determine your budget early on and stick to it. Consider all aspects requiring funding, such as venue hire, food and drinks, decorations, entertainment, and additional services. Setting a clear budget allows you to plan effectively and avoid unexpected expenses.

On average, you can expect to pay AUD 95 to AUD 145 per person for a Christmas party in Adelaide, depending on the type of venue, catering choices, and entertainment options you select. It's wise to break down your budget into venue costs, catering expenses, decorations, and entertainment categories.

Choose a Theme

Adding a fun theme to your Christmas party can make it more memorable and engaging for guests. Whether it's a winter wonderland, a classic Christmas, or a quirky Aussie-themed party, having a theme helps determine your decor, invitations, and even the dress code.

Even when hosting corporate Christmas parties, there is no need to be so formal. Add holiday flair to your decorations and some holiday spirit to your beverages or menu by inventing holiday cocktails or serving holiday-themed food. To create a festive atmosphere, decorate the venue with traditional Christmas ornaments such as wreaths, garlands, Christmas trees and twinkling lights. You can also include themed embellishments such as snowflakes, Santa Claus statues, and reindeer.

Determine your Food and Drinks

Selecting the right catering options is crucial for satisfying your guests and leaving a lasting impression. Depending on the style and theme of your party, you can choose from various catering options such as a formal sit-down dinner, buffet, cocktail-style finger food, or even food stations with interactive elements. Adelaide is home to a vast array of talented chefs and catering services that offer diverse menus, from traditional Christmas roasts to modern, eclectic cuisines.

In terms of drinks, a well-thought-out drink menu can elevate your Christmas party experience. Consider offering a range of beverages that complement your food menu and fit the festive spirit. Classic choices such as wine, beer, and cocktails are always popular, but consider adding a touch of Christmas cheer with themed drinks like mulled wine, eggnog, or customised cocktails named after holiday motifs.

Elevate Your Event with the Right Catering Options

Consider Entertainment

Consider adding an entertainment element to your Christmas party to ensure your guests remain engaged and enjoy themselves throughout the event. Entertainment can range from simple background music to elaborate performances, depending on your budget and theme. You can opt for a live band to provide festive tunes or a DJ to keep the dance floor lively with popular hits. Other interactive activities like karaoke competitions, festive season-themed photo booths, or a make-your-own cocktail bar can add a vibrant flavour to your party.
